...periments found the tubules formed like train cars linking up on the tracks of the cell's cytoskeleton. In a related paper, time-lapse video from Yale researchers uses another new microscope technique to show that antigen-hauling MHC class II molecules carried their cargo from the acidic bowels of the dendr...

...peratures are in the low 70s. In another passage linking temperature to human evolution, Segr marvels at how scattered radioactivity in the Earth's crust has essentially given rise to creatures sophisticated enough to ponder radioactivity. "The radioactive alpha particle decay of a few kinds of nuclei he...

... want to do therapeutically." Wright believes that linking lineage tracing and gene knockouts will become increasingly common. "It adds extra depth to understanding cellular behavior," he said. He is also enthusiastic about fluorescent variants of the lineage tracing technique that will allow investigators...

...any psychologists search for environmental factors linking childhood maltreatment and adult antisocial behavior, the group from Wisconsin has looked to a gene that regulates levels of monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) - an enzyme that cleans up excess neurotransmitters, chemicals in the brain that transmit nerve s...

...n waste treatment process. This study is the first linking adverse health effects in humans to the land application of Class B biosolids to be published in a medical journal. It was co-authored by David Lewis, a UGA research microbiologist also affiliated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s...

...ional world is a path leading scientists closer to linking a disease with its genetic characteristics. Trailblazing these paths requires us to investigate these proteins, one at a time, to learn how they interact inside their own three-dimensional world and in the body." According to the National Institutes ...

... this finding may lend credence to earlier reports linking the short gene variant to slightly higher levels of anxiety. It provides potential insight into one factor that contributes to the way people experience emotion." Each of us inherits two copies of the transporter gene for the chemical messenger ser...

...lle, Spain, has been at the forefront of fieldwork linking ecology and evolutionary perspectives. "Few working ecologists have personally generated more and more important long term data sets on the evolutionary ecology" of interactions between species said colleague Laurel Fox. Studying evolution, he ha...

...the aminoacylated tRNA, the essential molecule for linking the geneticcode to amino acids, triggering protein synthesis. "Our system has the potential to provide a simple method for the preparation of such aminoacyl-tRNAs for researchers who want to expand the amino-acid repertoire for protein synthesis," s...

...ave demonstrated in mice that a new drug formed by linking a vascular endothelial growth factor to a toxin will target and destroy the blood vessels supplying a malignant tumor. Dr. Michael Rosenblum, Professor of Medicine at M. D. Anderson, said tests of VEGF121/rGelonin (VEGF/rGel) in mice demonstrated it ...

...fense jobs for former Soviet weapons scientists by linking them with U.S. companies interested in commercializing their non-weapons technologies. IPP projects have engaged more than 500 former weapons scientists in pursuing commercial applications. If this antibody proves effective, the companies could pat...

...atrophy under the disease's onslaught. Others are linking stages of atrophy with physical and cognitive symptoms and are developing a "standardized" image of the caudate nucleus in brains of patients that will serve as a model for assessing disease stage and predicting progression. Still other scientists a...

...nd K. Taira report on a technical breakthrough. By linking ribozymes to helicases, cellular components whose normal function is to smooth out folded RNAs to allow them to be translated into proteins, these investigators have managed to circumvent this folding difficulty. They have been able to efficiently in...

...oteomic information that was not available before, linking cellular topology, protein expression and function. MELK reads protein networks in the context of whole, intact cells, providing an image of protein locations in the cell, or the cells protein topology. MELK enables the researcher to simultaneously d...

...its two active parts are connected, or fused, by a linking molecule. As it is constructed now, GE2 contains generic active parts that indiscriminately block reactions to any allergen, Dr. Saxon says. However, a fusion protein like GE2 could be designed to contain a specific allergen such as a peanut protein...

Hirschmann Award in Peptide Chemistry from the American Chemical Society at its national meeting in Orlando, Fla....

...oid and comet impacts with the Earth may be key to linking some impacts with mass extinction events. Michael Lucas, a geology student at Florida Gulf Coast University, believes that the severity of four extinction events during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic can be correlated with the total kinetic energy release...
